RESOLUTION NO. 26.XXX
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
LAGUNA BEACH, CALIFORNIA, ADOPTING A LIST
OF PROJECTS FOR FISCAL YEAR 2026-27 FUNDED BY SB-1:
THE ROAD REPAIR AND ACCOUNTABILITY ACT OF 2017
AND FINDING THE SAME EXEMPT FROM THE
CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT
WHEREAS, Senate Bill 1 (SB-1), designated as the Road Repair and Accountability Act of 2017 (Chapter 5, Statutes of 2017) was passed by the Legislature and signed into law by the Governor in April 2017 to address the significant multi-modal transportation funding shortfalls statewide; and
WHEREAS, SB-1 includes accountability and transparency provisions that will ensure the residents of the City of Laguna Beach are aware of the projects proposed for funding in the community and which projects have been completed each fiscal year; and WHEREAS, the City must adopt by resolution a list of projects proposed to receive fiscal year funding from the Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Account (RMRA) created by SB-1, which must include a description and the location of each proposed project, a proposed schedule for the project’s completion, and the estimated useful life of the improvement; and WHEREAS, the City will receive an estimated $645,000 in RMRA funding in Fiscal Year 2026-27 from SB-1 revenues; and
WHEREAS, this is the tenth year in which the City is receiving SB-1 funding and will enable the City to continue essential road maintenance and rehabilitation projects, safety improvements, repairing and replacing aging bridges, and increasing access and mobility options for the traveling public that would not have otherwise been possible without SB-1; and WHEREAS, the City has undergone a robust public process to ensure public input into Attachment 2

our community’s transportation priorities for inclusion in the project list; and WHEREAS, the City used a Pavement Management System to develop the SB-1 project list to ensure revenues are being used on the most high-priority and cost-effective projects that also meet the community’s priorities for transportation investment; and WHEREAS, the funding from SB-1 will help the City maintain and rehabilitate thirty (30) streets/roads throughout the City this year; and
WHEREAS, the 2023 California Statewide Local Streets and Roads Needs Assessment found that the City’s streets and roads are in good condition and the SB-1 revenues will help us increase the overall quality of the City’s road system and over the next decade will bring the City’s streets and roads into excellent condition; and
WHEREAS, the SB-1 project list and overall investment in our local streets and roads infrastructure with a focus on basic maintenance and safety, investing in complete streets infrastructure, and using cutting-edge technology, materials and practices, will have significant positive co-benefits statewide.
NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF LAGUNA BEACH DOES RESOLVE:

Project Location: Temple Hills and Citywide Sidewalk Slicing Estimated Project Schedule: Start (9/26) – Completion (03/27) Estimated Project Useful Life: 25-30 years
SECTION 3. Adoption of this resolution is not a project within the meaning of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and under CEQA Guidelines Section 15378, which states that a project does not include “government fiscal activities, which do not involve any commitment to any specific project which may result in a potentially significant physical impact on the environment. This resolution adopts, and authorizes submission for approval of, a list of projects proposed to receive funding under SB1 and the RMRA. If such funding is approved, the City may then potentially use such funds for the projects listed that will be reviewed at that later time – if not already approved by the City. Accordingly, adoption of this resolution is not a project and no further environmental review is necessary.
SECTION 4. If any provision of this Resolution is held invalid, the remainder of this Resolution shall not be affected by such invalidity, and the provisions of the Resolution are severable. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Resolution, all other penalty schedules and fines shall remain unchanged and in full force and effect.
SECTION 5. The City Clerk shall attest as to the adoption and execution of this Resolution and cause the same to be maintained in the permanent records of the City.
SECTION 6. This Resolution shall become effective immediately upon its adoption. 6 -4- Reso. #
ADOPTED this 23rd day of June, 2026.
